Nonfiction? Informational? Narrative nonfiction?
What is the correct term to use?
Nonfiction is any text that is factual.
"Informational text refers to information about the natural or social world, typically from someone presumed to know that information to someone presumed not to, with particular linguistic features such as headings and technical vocabulary tohelp accomplish that purpose. By our definition, therefore, biography is nonfiction but is not informational text, because its primary purpose is to convey information about an individual’slife. Procedural or how-to text is also nonfiction, but not informational text because its primary purpose is to tell someone how to do something, not convey information about some thing." (Scholastic,p.16)
"Nonfiction narrative or “true stories” are also nonfiction but not informational text, because their primary purpose is to tell of an event or series of events that have occurred." (Scholastic, p.16)
